As one of the latest products of the Santos academy - having previously produced the likes of Neymar, Felipe Anderson and Robinho - Lucas Lourenco could be set to join the ranks of great Brazilians to emerge from the club.

Natural as a central attacking midfielder in the role of Attacking Midfielder, the 19-year-old already has promising passing and technique, despite his lack of first-team exposure and game time.

His value was so low in FM 20 (just £16k, though he had a huge release clause set for foreign clubs), you may be asking yourself what is wrong with him. The answer would be his particularly underwhelming physicals, including his low strength and apparent inability to jump.

But things may change for this year and he could just be on corner duty rather than in the mixer, anyway.
